If elected, the Conservatives will deliver Gloucestershire’s biggest ever road investment scheme which will see over £150 million spent in the next five years. From road resurfacing, improved traffic flows around our towns and villages as well as better and safer pavements, we are the only party with a clear long-term plan to improve the road network across Gloucestershire. We inherited a huge backlog in pothole repairs from the Lib Dems when they lost control and are working incredibly hard to tackle the years of neglect and improve the County’s roads.
Meanwhile, Lib Dem plans to change employment conditions would see £10 million cut from frontline road repairs and wasted on bureaucracy, as well as £15 million in one-off costs.
